Control
SoMo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know what you're waiting for
This ain't your decision
Girl, this ain't no magic door
Give me one good reason
Are you different from the ones before
You know that I'm seasoned
Girl, I've seen this place before
I don't wanna fuck you like this
I don't wanna touch you like this
Take over your body, control your everything
I know you wanna love me like this
I know you wanna trust me like this
Take over your body, control your everything
Girl, you got me singing on the low like I'm alright
Girl, you got me singing on the low like I'm alright
Everybody's watching, everybody knows it
They don't wanna see who I'mma make it home with
I'mma take you back but that's just cause I'm able
It's the weekend, we can do it on the table
I could even make you love it with the light on
If you wanna, we can turn on some of my songs
Just remember, when we're done, I'm gonna ride on
This could only last a night, I'm outta my zone
I'm about to do it like he's never done it
I can see it in your eyes that you're full of wonder
I'mma sing a song, I'mma sing it better
I'mma sing like he couldn't
Baby, you ain't never been wetter
I don't wanna fuck you like this
I don't wanna touch you like this
Take over your body, control your everything
I know you wanna love me like this
I know you wanna trust me like this
Take over your body, control your everything
Girl, you got me singing on the low like I'm alright
Girl, you got me singing on the low like I'm alright
Everybody's talking, I don't care what they say
This ain't their decision, they can't get in no way
I'mma do it right now, hold up, wait, I changed my mind
I can't do this, oh no, I just need to do what's right
I don't wanna fuck you like this
I don't wanna touch you like this
Take over your body, control your everything
I know you wanna love me like this
I know you wanna trust me like this
Take over your body, control your everything
Girl, you got me singing on the low like I'm alright
Girl, you got me singing on the low like I'm alright
"SoMo's song Control" portrays a story about a man and a woman's primal desires and cravings for each other. The man is aware that his seductive powers can easily lure the woman into his arms, but he is still doubtful about proceeding with the act. The lyrics, "I don't wanna f*** you like this, I don't wanna touch you like this," signify his internal struggle between his lust and his self-control.
He acknowledges the societal pressure of people watching their every move, and the constant judgment they would receive for giving in to their desires. He mentioned, "Everybody's watching, everybody knows it. They don't wanna see who I'ma make it home with," hinting at the scrutiny they would face.
Despite his desire, he ultimately decides to do the right thing and abstain, understanding the repercussions of giving in. He sings, "I'mma do it right now, hold up, wait, I changed my mind. I can't do this, oh no, I just need to do what's right." The song serves as a reminder that, at times, one's primal desires need to be checked to make the right decisions for oneself and others.
